When it was announced earlier this month that 5-star Oregon Ducks commit Mookie Cook was being cast as a young LeBron James in the upcoming film ‘Shooting Stars’ — documenting James’ upbringing and high school basketball career — a lot of reaction came on social media.
Now that we have our first look at Cook in a ‘Vincent-St. Mary’s Irish’ uniform, alongside what is supposed to be a high-school version of Carmelo Anthony, the takes on Twitter are endless.
A lot of the heat is directed at the casting, and while Cook may be catching some strays, it’s the remake of Anthony that seems to be the most controversial. Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter:
